Hubbard, Stanley C. Gould, Jr., A. A. Hall, Bob Brewer, Dale H. neinly Noe s, Councilmen ~ one Absent Councilmen ~one Charles L. Kleppsattel, 1718 "oodland Place, speaking in b~half of approx- imately 35 parents in the area, stated about two weeks previously the traffic guard was removed without notice to the school nor the parents at the corner of Flower and Edinger Streets. The traffic guard had been at this location for some five years, and it is a four-way stop. There are two other schools in this area, with a new school under construction. Approximately 1~5 children from Glenn Martin Grammar School and St. Anne's use this crossing, and approx- imately 800 to 900 cars per day cross the intersection. A four-way stop is confusing for a child of gramm~r scho~age. Mrs. Margaret Butler, 1813 Woodland Place, Oob Driscoll, 1521 S. Parton Street, Danny ~ordell, lbo5 '(oodland Place, and George Krock, 1814 S. darnsey Street, requested re- instatement of the crossing guard. Itwas moved by Councilman Hall, seconded by Hubbard and carried that the crossing guard be re-instated at this inter- section to remain until the end of the current school year and the Council will make a further study of the list of the warrants causing removal of crossing guards at various locations.
